I want to take some pics in a week with the grow lights off to get a more neutral white balance, I rate we'll get a much better idea then. At the moment the end of the month timeline is just based off of the breeder's recommendations, totally willing to go over 😆

Nirvana gave the Blue Cheese 9 Weeks... mine are Week 13 now hehehe Same for the Blueberry Kush.

I have no experience with indior growing.. but does your light intensity not play a major role in flowering time?
I don't think so, although light intensity would affect the yield.
Not so much the flower duration.


Based on my experience, seed breeders generally put a much shorter flowering time.
Normally 9 to 12 weeks before most strains are ready for harvest.
I don't even waste my time looking at their flowering duration.

Hey bru! Yeah I’ve been wondering this... regarding all strains really. When does everybody classify the beginning of flowering? Do the labels means from switch or from first set of average pistol arrangement? I don’t know. Havnt seen a discussion regarding it. Interesting to know.

I discussed it with someone before, they counted from after the stretch.

I count from the time I switch to 12 hours of light and I think most count like this.

I also used to count from after the stretch, but that is a bit hit and miss for me anyways as I found that not all plants look the same or have the same development at day 21ish.

Precisely, how doe sine tell when the stretch is over?

Doesn't make sense to count from after the stretch to me. It should be counted from the day you flip.
Breeders should give timeliness based on this as its easier to follow.

Once again, breeders prefer a shorter flowering time as it's more appealing and can help lead to a purchase over a strain with a more accurate and longer flowering time.


Is another 2 weeks of flower really the end of the world? You're around 18 weeks in overall if based on breeders time line, although pushing it out to 20 weeks before harvest isn't that much of an issue imo.
You've waited so long already. Wait a bit longer and get some quality bud.

No prove yet.. but I think temperature is a factor to make them ripen slower. All my plants during winter period were slower as said by the breeders. But again.. is just a guess. I just entered week 14 ^^ with my week9 Blue CHeese hehehe but i got them 50/50 more or less now.. freakin waiting is the most annoying part of the grow cycle 😂😁

Yes, I believe temperature will affect the growth rate of the plants.
Lower temps during veg certainly slow things down, although hadn't given it much thought or paid attention to how it affects flower.
In winter I run a heater though so it's over 20C anyways - although before a heater slow growth for sure.

not the growing of the plant.. the ripening of the trichomes. Took them over 4 week to go to 50% amber from when the pistils dried up. In summer, takes 1 to max 2 weeks to reach the 50% stage.

Literally where I am right now 😄 I'll probably be adding that extra two weeks myself.

      12 x 240W LED Grow lights, as new, for sale.
      6 are with wooden frame and 6 are with aluminum frame.
      Wooden frame is more expensive but if you buy the lot then price will be the same for all.

      Hello growers
      I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use Freedom farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
      Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
      I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
      Some thoughts of mine...…
      Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
      Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
      One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
      Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      My Grow:
      Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
      Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Seedling)
      - Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
      -Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Veg Stage)
      - initial inoculant 2ml Environoc Microbes
      -1ml per litre  Environoc every 2 weeks
      -5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Flower Stage)
      -3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
      -5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
      -5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
      -Feed molasses until harvest
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      First time growing photoperiods, quite excited. 

      Genetics
      Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co.  6 Pack

      High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds."  Hoping to achieve that.
      Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
      They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment. 
      Grow Setup
      Same as before. Here
      ~
      Lets go 
      9 November
      Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.

      10 November
      Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.

      11 November
      Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs. 
      Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading. 
      I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.

      Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.
